00:00The Philippine Ports Authority violated the Department of Agriculture's congested agreement

00:05so the export of imported rice is slow.

00:08But the PPA admitted that some consignees

00:11are hoarding rice in containers while waiting

00:15for its price to rise in the market.

00:17Clayzel Pardilla with the report.

00:22The slow decrease in the price of rice

00:25is one of the reasons,

00:27said the Department of Agriculture.

00:30There's port congestion.

00:32There's delays.

00:33Port congestion. Unloading is slow.

00:36The Philippine Ports Authority violated the agreement.

00:39We don't have port congestion.

00:41We haven't had port congestion for a long time.

00:44The utilization rate in Manila International Container Port

00:49and Manila South Harbor is only 70%.

00:51But the PPA admitted that there are

00:54888 containers in the ports

00:58that contain almost half a million bags of rice.

01:02That's equivalent to 24 million kilos of imported rice.

01:08Most of the people who come here

01:10have already paid their taxes and fees.

01:12But some consignees intend to come here

01:15and force them not to go out.

01:18You can call this hoarding.

01:20The location is just different.

01:22We have containers here

01:24that have been stored here for more than a month

01:28and they don't come out.

01:31And there's another one here

01:35that has been here for 275 days

01:38and they don't come out.

01:40Most of the consignees here

01:43are just waiting for the price of rice to rise

01:46in the market before they come out.

01:49The first five days of the PPA containers are free.

01:52The price is P700 if they come out.

01:55The fine is P5,000 if they stay here for more than 10 days.

02:00The consignees here are more patient

02:02inside the port than outside.

02:04Because it's still cheaper

02:06even if there's a fixed storage fee.

02:08It's still cheaper to pay for storage

02:10here inside the port

02:12than to bring it to their private warehouse.

02:15To force the shipment to come out,

02:18the PPA plans to double the fine

02:21for shipments with rice

02:23that will be forced to leave their containers

02:26five days after their documents are complete.

02:29The name of the consignees

02:32who are overstaying the shipment

02:34will also be released.

02:35The PPA has already reached the Agriculture Department.

02:39Maybe in the future,

02:41when they give the permit to import,

02:43they should also require the consignees

02:47to pull out.

02:49The moment the customs are released,

02:51the customs should be cleared

02:53within five days at a maximum

02:55so that it can be distributed to the market

02:58and the price of rice stabilizes and goes down.

03:01In one statement,

03:03Secretary Q. Laurel Jr. thanked

03:05the PPA for quickly providing information.

03:09The agency recognizes

03:11the potential issue of hoarding

03:13of imported rice in the Philippines.

03:15The DA urges the PPA

03:17to speed up the movement

03:19of imported rice in Daungan

03:21so that the supply of rice will increase

03:23and the price will go down.

03:25The announcement that imported rice

03:27will be exported

03:29is a concern for food security.
